The wind of change transformed the plains into the desertAnd on the lower levels demons scream delightPlaces of worship have ceased to serve the purposeThe age of reason took a ride into the nightWhere there were idols there is idlenessUnholy churches light their fires upon the moorThey sealed the pact with blood and honourThe machine spits blood and lurches into war

[Chorus:]We have fallen, it leaves such an embittered tasteErectus is now crawling, we have fallen from grace

There is a black tree in the wildernessOlder than time itself and riddled with diseaseIt feeds on clotted blood and rotting fleshThe hunger we all seem too willing to appeaseWhen all before you lose their heads into the blockWhen e'en the proudest bend their knees before the flockThey seek salvation in the depths of madmen's eyesKnee deep in blood and gore they look toward the skies

They sought the means by which to transform the godsBurnt the books, created death camps on the wayA new religion from the ashes of the oldA social order one of masters and slavesThey dreamt of everyman, we merely have regressedInto the animal that can't perceive the willLook at the embryo, so twisted and grotesqueThis is your superman, the legacy to kill

[Chorus:]We have fallen, the losers in the human raceErectus is now crawling, we have fallen from grace
